In this video, Betty returns to bettyskitchen after a 2-week hiatus. Betty and her husband, Rick, spent 10 days cruising the Caribbean, resting and relaxing, and enjoying cruise activities. This video shows a variety of foods and activities enjoyed on the Noordam ship of the Holland American Line. Sailing out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we visited Half-Moon Cay, St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, Dominica, Curacao, and Aruba. We had a wonderful time, and the food was excellent! It was a nice break to have my food prepared for me! To answer your obvious questions--I gained 1 pound, and Rick gained 4 pounds, but we will easily take the weight off, now that we are not eating such rich food for every meal (and between meals)! Thanks for all the wonderful comments you left me, after I announced that I was taking a break! It is great to be back, and I hope to have a recipe ready to upload tomorrow! I have several Christmas treats planned!
